本文通过对云南西南部两个1:5万图幅地球化学水系沉积物测量、土壤测量和岩石测量三种区域化探方法的试验,从找矿、经济两个方面进行对比,得出了三种化探方法找矿效果相近的结论,但水系沉积物测量以其异常衬度高、野外采样工作量小、样品分析费用少而明显优于土壤测量。在试验中得到的另一发现是低密度(每平方公里约2个样)的岩石测量在发现异常信息和了解微量元素分布区域性变化规律方面有好的效果。岩石测量作为一种有效的区域化探方法值得重视和进一步研究。     

Geochemical exploration for mineralized breccia pipes in northern Arizona,U.S.A.

Thousands of solution-collapse breccia pipe crop out in the canyons and on the plateaus of northern Arizona. Over 80 of these are known to contain U or Cu mineralized rock. The high-grade U ore associated with potentially economic concentrations of Ag, Pb, Zn, Cu, Co and Ni in some of these pipes has continued to stimulate mining and exploration activity in northern Arizona, despite periods of depressed U prices. Large expanses of northern Arizona are comprised of undissected high plateaus; recognition of pipes in these areas is particularly important because mining access to the plateaus is far better than to the canyons. The small size of the pipes, generally less than 600 ft (200 m) in diameter, and limited rock outcrop on the plateaus, compounds the recognition problem. Although the breccia pipes, which bottom in the Mississippian Redwall Limestone, are occasionally exposed on the plateaus as circular features, so are unmineralized near-surface collapse features that bottom in the Permian Kaibab and Toroweap Formations. The distinction between these two classes of circular features is critical during exploration for this unique type of U deposit.Various geochemical and geophysical exploration methods have been tested over these classes of collapse features. Because of the small size of the deposits, and the low-level geochemical signatures in the overlying rock that are rarely dispersed for distances in excess of several hundred feet, most reconnaissance geochemical surveys, such as hydrogeochemistry or stream sediment, will not delineete mineralized pipes.Several types of detailed geochemical surveys made over collapse features, located through examination of aerial photographs and later field mapping, have been successful at delineating collapse features from the surrounding host rock: (1) Rock geochemistry commonly shows low level Ag, As, Ba, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn anomalies over mineralized breccia pipes; (2) Soil surveys appear to have the greatest potential for distinguishing mineralized breccia pipes from the surrounding terrane. Although the soil anomalies are only twice the background concentrations for most anomalous elements, traverses made over collapse features show consistent enrichment inside of the feature as compared to outside; (3) B. Cereus surveys over a known mineralized pipe show significantly more anomalous samples collected from within the ring fracture than from outside of the breccia pipe; (4) Helium soil-gas surveys were made over 7 collapse features with discouraging results from 5 of the 7 features.Geophysical surveys indicate that scaler audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) and E-field telluric profile data show diagnostic conductivity differences over mineralized pipes as compared to the surrounding terrane. These surveys, coupled with the geochemical surveys conducted as detailed studies over features mapped by field and aerial photograph examination, can be a significant asset in the selection of potential breccia pipes for drilling.

从岩石到土壤再到水系沉积物：风化过程的岩性地球化学基因

不活动元素的稳定性使得风化岩石、土壤和水系沉积物等风化产物能够保留新鲜母岩的元素特征,它们之间的含量变化趋势有可能从母岩传递到其风化产物中,这类似于生物学中基因遗传。仿照生物学中基因的特性提出了地球化学基因的概念及其构建方法,为了比较地球化学基因的相似程度进而提出基因相似度的概念及其计算方法。以风化过程中11种不活动元素为例,基于中国酸性岩、中性岩、基性岩的元素丰度数据构建了表征岩石及其风化产物地球化学特性的岩性地球化学基因,其元素序列为：Al2O3→SiO2→P→Ti→La→Fe2O3→Th→Zr→Nb→Y→U。利用豫西熊耳山地区安山岩风化剖面、残坡积—沟系土剖面、化探详查水系沉积物和区域化探水系沉积物4种比例尺尺度的样品对构建的岩性地球化学基因进行了检验,结果发现岩性地球化学基因在风化过程中具有很好的遗传性(从岩石到风化产物)和继承性(从土壤到其源岩),利用岩性地球化学基因可以对土壤样品进行物源示踪。源自同一母岩的水系沉积物和土壤之间在岩性地球化学基因方面具有很好的相似性(同源风化产物之间)。基于中国区域化探水系沉积物调查数据,可以构建岩性地球化学基因库来对岩石及其风化产物样品进行溯源分析,在地质、环境、法庭等科学领域具有潜在应用前景。     

基于PMGRA气体地球化学测量在辽东浅覆盖区找矿的可行性

气体能携带深部矿化信息沿着岩石裂隙和断裂带迁移至地表,因此气体地球化学方法可以用于寻找覆盖层以下的隐伏断裂和矿体.基于便携式多组分气体快速分析仪（PMGRA）,应用气体地球化学方法对辽东地区五龙金矿区和青城子地区开展了探索性的试验研究,并辅以相应的土壤地球化学测量进行对比.结果显示,异常区气体的浓度衬值非常大;在部分气体异常区,沿着构造倾向方向,具有CO₂异常峰值出现在H₂S、SO₂和CH₄之前的特点.在辽东浅覆盖区,气体和土壤地球化学测量均能反映隐伏构造和矿体;而在覆盖较厚地区,气体地球化学测量对断裂和矿体反映更明显,受覆盖层的类型和厚度影响较小.本次试验结果初步显示了基于PMGRA气体地球化学测量方法在浅覆盖区具有一定的可行性.

Surface lithogeochemical studies about a distal volcanogenic massive sulphide occurrence at Limerick,New South Wales

The results of a surface rock chip sampling study over a small distal volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit at Limerick, N.S.W., Australia are presented and compared with drill core and soil geochemical patterns. Major element halos are narrow in comparison to the pervasive patterns reported from major proximal deposits. Narrow zones of Mg and K enhancement are associated with sulphide mineralization. High levels of Na occur in these rocks in contrast to the regularly described pattern of Na depletion. Weathering, particularly in the presence of sulphides, has resulted in the leaching of Ca, Na and, to a lesser extent, K from surface rock chip samples, whereas Fe, Pb and Zn contents are enhanced compared to those in fresh rocks. Despite the problems of sample heterogeneity, variable weathering and the limited extent of alteration halos which exist in this environment, surface lithogeochemical methods in comparable situations may be useful in the confirmation and interpretation of soil geochemical anomalies.     

Geochemical soil sampling for deeply-buried mineralized breccia pipes,northwestern Arizona

Thousands of solution-collapse breccia pipes crop out in the canyons and on the plateaus of northwestern Arizona; some host high-grade uranium deposits. The mineralized pipes are enriched in Ag, As, Ba, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, V and Zn. These breccia pipes formed as sedimentary strata collapsed into solution caverns within the underlying Mississippian Redwall Limestone. A typical pipe is approximately 100 m (300 ft) in diameter and extends upward from the Redwall Limestone as much as 1000 m (3000 ft).Unmineralized gypsum and limestone collapses rooted in the Lower Permian Kaibab Limestone or Toroweap Formation also occur throughout this area. Hence, development of geochemical tools that can distinguish these unmineralized collapse structures, as well as unmineralized breccia pipes, from mineralized breccia pipes could significantly reduce drilling costs for these orebodies commonly buried 300–360 m (1000–1200 ft) below the plateau surface.Design and interpretation of soil sampling surveys over breccia pipes are plagued with several complications. (1) The plateau-capping Kaibab Limestone and Moenkopi Formation are made up of diverse lithologies. Thus, because different breccia pipes are capped by different lithologies, each pipe needs to be treated as a separate geochemical survey with its own background samples. (2) Ascertaining true background is difficult because of uncertainties in locations of poorly-exposed collapse cones and ring fracture zones that surround the pipes.Soil geochemical surveys were completed on 50 collapse structures, three of which are known mineralized breccia pipes. Each collapse structure was treated as an independent geochemical survey. Geochemical data from each collapse feature were plotted on single-element geochemical maps and processed by multivariate factor analysis. To contrast the results between geochemical surveys (collapse structures), a means of quantifying the anomalousness of elements at each site was developed. This degree of anomalousness, named the “correlation value”, was used to rank collapse features by their potential to overlie a deeply-buried mineralized breccia pipe.Soil geochemical results from the three mineralized breccia pipes (the only three of the 50 that had previously been drilled) show that: (1) Soils above the SBF pipe contain significant enrichment of Ag, Al, As, Ba, Ga, K, La, Mo, Nd, Ni, Pb, Sc, Th, U and Zn, and depletion in Ca, Mg and Sr, in contrast to soils outside the topographic and structural rim; (2) Soils over the inner treeless zone of the Canyon pipe show Mo and Pb enrichment anf As and Ga depletion, in contrast to soils from the surrounding forest; and (3) The soil survey of the Mohawk Canyon pipe was a failure because of the rocky terrane and lack of a B soil horizon, or because the pipe plunges. At least 11 of the 47 other collapse structures studied contain anomalous soil enrichments similar to the SBF uranium ore-bearing pipe, and thus have good potential as exploration targets for uranium. One of these 11, #1102, does contain surface mineralized rock. These surveys suggest that soil geochemical sampling is a useful tool for the recognition of many collapse structures with underlying ore-bearing breccia pipes.

低密度地球化学填图在热带雨林区的适用性探索：以印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛巴东明古鲁地区为例

不同尺度地球化学填图能否获得稳定的和可追索的地球化学模式,能否真实反映元素含量背景,是检验填图方法是否可行的重要依据。笔者选择印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛巴东—明古鲁地区热带雨林区为研究对象,对比该区1:100 万（1 个样/100 km2）和1:25 万（1 个样/4 km2）两种不同比例尺的地球化学采样所获得的地球化学数据和异常分布模式,发现二者获得的元素含量背景值和中位数非常接近,所圈定的地球化学省在形态和变化趋势上非常类似,浓集中心的位置几乎完全重合,证明低密度地球化学填图也能获得稳定的和可追溯的地球化学模式,认为该方法在热带雨林区也是适用的。低密度地球化学填图圈出的地球化学省基本涵盖了研究区大的矿床和花岗岩体,真实的反映了研究区元素的分布情况,在这些地球化学省内开展更大比例尺的地球化学填图工作,能进一步圈定局部异常直接找矿,降低企业勘查投资风险。

Till geochemical and indicator mineral methods in mineral exploration

This paper summarizes advances since 1987 in the application of glacial sediment sampling to mineral exploration (drift prospecting) in areas affected by continental or alpine glaciation. In these exploration programs, clastic glacial sediments are tested by geochemical or mineralogical methods to detect dispersal trains of mineral deposit indicators that have been glacially transported from source by mechanical processes. In glaciated terrain the key sampling medium, till, is produced by abrasion, crushing and blending of rock debris and recycled sediment followed by down-ice dispersal ranging from a few metres to many kilometres. As a consequence of the mid-1980s boom in gold exploration, the majority of case studies and regional till geochemical surveys published in the past decade deal with this commodity. Approximately 30% of Canada and virtually all of Fennoscandia have been covered by regional till geochemical surveys that aid mineral exploration and provide baseline data for environmental, agricultural, and landuse planning. The most profound event in drift prospecting in the last decade, however, has been the early-1990s explosion in diamond exploration which has dramatically increased the profile of glacial geology and glacial sediment sampling and stimulated changes in sampling and analytical methods.
